Graphic designer David Rudnick’s Tomb Series project looks to the next life of digital art, the world to come, for artistic ownership, creation, and community.
Tomb Series is a universe unto itself, shrouded in lore and intrigue. At its core, the project consists of 177 Tombs: artworks depicting MiniDiscs individually drawn by Rudnick on a 2012 Macbook Pro using Photoshop and Illustrator CS3.
These MiniDiscs serve as storage devices that separate into eight collections of “Houses,” which operate under different contracts respectively dictating the owners’ usage. Each Tomb lives onchain as an NFT and in the Tomb Index—a 240-page hardcover book.
The whole project explained beautifully here on Zora.
